Enoteca Maria Reviews from The Last Year
Make sure you book in advance!
Maria is an absolute gem! We visited Enoteca Maria whilst holidaying in New York for my husband's 50th. We have friends who are currently living in NJ so booked months in advance for this dinner to be able to meet up with them. A very short walk from the Staten Island ferry, this is a great location to meet with friends. You really do feel like you are part of the family, with hugs, new nicknames and stories abound. Food was naturally excellent but I was absolutely stuffed very quickly. This is a very tiny little place with limited opening hours so you have to book well in advance. There aren't many tables so it might feel a little close for some people, but that's part of the atmosphere.
The best spot to eat near the Staten Island ferry / St
The best spot to eat near the Staten Island ferry / St George. Sat at the bar and enjoyed quick and friendly service. Solid wine selection, even better food! There was a Peruvian Nonna in house tonight but I was called to traditional Nonna fare and got the Lasagna Della Nonna. It was perfect...The layers! The banana pudding was insane- creme bruelee bananas with homemade cookies. Will definitely be back!
It is very good service and the ambience is amazing I
It is very good service and the ambience is amazing I recommend that place. !!!!!!!
Authentic and flavorful
Delicious! You do need a reservation to eat there though. The place is quite small and it’s almost fully booked. The menu is tasty and authentic. Definitely worth a try!
CASH ONLY (or Venmo!) I love the concept of Enoteca Maria,
CASH ONLY (or Venmo!) I love the concept of Enoteca Maria, so I feel slightly guilty for the 3-star rating, but 3-stars means it was alright! I'm obsessed with hole-in-the-wall restaurants where the food tastes like your grandma made it. When my friend told me about Enoteca Maria, I decided I had a reason to go to Staten Island. It is conveniently located near the ferry, so it is definitely worth a visit! I called two weeks ahead to get a 2:30pm seating on a Sunday. They are closed in the beginning of the week so plan ahead if you want to make a reservation. The interior is no-frills, which makes sense for the concept! We had a nonna from Italy and one from Japan working the day we went, though did not see the nonna from Japan. I ordered the risotto ($18) and my friend had eggplant dengaku ($25). The highlight of the risotto was the sausage, which had nice flavor. Otherwise, the risotto did not have much flavor. My friend's dish tasted like a steak meal with an eggplant substitution. The sauce was delicious, and the eggplant texture was nice. The whipped potatoes were pretty cool and complemented the dish nicely. We had a bread pudding for dessert ($14) that was also decent. I was missing more texture from wafers, but the vanilla pudding was good. Service was alright. The waiter who helped us was courteous, and we didn't need a water refill. I was just personally not wowed by the food. If I do end up coming back with someone else who wants to try it, and I have an outstanding dish, I will update my review accordingly. That being said, I do think this is an experience every New Yorker should try at least once!

I have to admit that I usually don't leave a bad review, unless something has gone really wrong and went unchecked. I am hoping to prevent certain unmet expectations from future patrons. Having tried to have dinner at this place for many years now, I was always unsuccessful in making a reservation. To my surprise I was able to make one for a Friday night. I was really excited to feel the welcome and eat the authentic deliciousness of what was supposed to be so much talked about, Nonna's experience, or so I thought. This was no grandmother's welcoming place! Very dark ambiance with some obscure toys... chairs and tables without imagination and rather uncomfortable. Barely any room to maneuver for anyone including the waitstaff. What also irked me was the tension in the room, not so much from the patrons, but from the staff... the bar tender (owner?) had not smiled once, Nonnas did not even come close to my own! The Italian one chatting up every table, which I admit was cute, while delegating to the wait staff, again while bickering with the other rotating Nonna who was on her phone... I wasn't prying, just very difficult to miss the dynamic in such a small space. Foodwise, it was mediocre at best. It wasn't bad, just nothing special... we had some apps from both the staple menu and from the rotating Nonnas. We didn't finish the feta cigars at $16 /4 pcs. If one can't tell the difference between a store bought and the restaurant served dish, there is a problem. The meatballs were pretty good, but as the Nonna herself pointed out, very easy to make at home... the branzino was prepared well. I have to admit that I loved the salad that came with the fish. My husband also wanted to try the Japanese vegetarian entree... Unfortunately none of the dishes left a wow! Had high expectations and was disappointed. This is not a place where I will long to return to, unlike my grandmother's kitchen.
What a wonderful little Staten Island gem.
The Italian and Nigerian menu was absolutely superb and the service was wonderful. It's the epitome of what makes NYC special.
The food is amazing.
It's small and unique. Love the grandmas. Highly recommend. Especially great for date night!
Great location
The atmosphere, the warmth, the food is simply amazing, You can try, reorder, get advice...
Italian Grandmothers and nonnas from around the world with
Italian Grandmothers and nonnas from around the world with farm to table fare that is so worth a visit. Location: a short walk from the Staten Island Ferry station ferry terminal, I would remember to stop at the ATM(cash point) on the way because it is cash only. Also, you should probably have a reservation if you have not already made one. Call and ask Joe, the owner, he will do his best to accommodate. As you walk in you will notice that this is a tiny but mighty restaurant that has a warm feel with some industrial design elements. You may notice extensive super hero figurines on side above the large wine selection that enoteca is the Italian word for Wine repository and Maria is Joe's mother. He named the restaurant in his honor and this place has been labor of love. Now, I have been fortunate to be coming to this place for about a decade with many special memories and meals along the way with Joe, Paula, and all of the grandmas. Food and drinks: Anything and everything is great. I particularly love the meat and fish selections paired with next level locally sourced vegetables produce. You can't go wrong but ask for recommendation. As aforementioned, they have a deep wine list which will satisfy most all patrons. Service: At this place, it is not service. You are part of the family and they know when to give you time but also help when needed. Paula and Joe know the perfect timing. Sum-up: Make a reservation, get some cash out, and enjoy some Italian and international cuisine at a NYC institution. Looking forward to the soon film which will feature Joe and his story with the grandmothers. Vince Vaughn will play Joe in a hopefully classic film. Skip the movie before you go to experience this real life "Cinema Paradiso"(personal favorite film) for the real life restaurant version.
My mother in law saw this place on The Today Show.
It was so sweet to see the lovely grandma's in the restaurant, walking around, welcoming everyone with a heartwarming smile, or a hug. The Nonnas were humble, and seemed genuinely grateful for us to be there and try their home-cooked meals. We were able to try dishes from Italy, Japan, and Argentina. You could tell them were made with love. I felt like a part of the family when we left.

Our daughter Sierra met some people from Enoteca Maria and led us there last night for a fabulous grandmother inspired Italian and Middle Eastern meal. (There are sometimes visiting Nonna's from other cultures to add to the Italian menu. Last night she was Middle Eastern) The combination of great food, wonderful service and ambiance, led by Paola and Nonna Maria, has moved Enoteca Maria to the position of my most favored restaurant in NY. Enoteca Maria is a good price performer and the ferry ride only adds to the fun. Among us we ate baba ganoush, meatballs, stuffed cabbage, lasagna, and branzino. Of course we also had fococaccia and pickled vegetables to begin with carrot cake to conclude. Yes, we ate well and tried to sample the menu. It was great. If you have ever had a Grandmother inspired meal, you will know what I am talking about.
Incredible dinner here.
Can't say enough good things. Food was delicious, ambiance was delightful.
Where the Flavours & Tastes of Nonna’s Recipes of The World Come Together
It is all about the food here. Delicious food & cooked by nonnas of the world’ Fun! Great service! Quirky decor! Great place to get together with friends & family & enjoy mouth watering home style authentic recipes from all over the world. Good wine list too! We loved our time here!
Nonnas of the world.. More like out of this world
What can I say! One of the best meals out I have ever had, homemade comfort food, you will not leave here hungry! A wonderful gem that is an absolute must if you are on Staten Island
An experience you’ll never forget
We all give Staten Island a hard time about not actually being a borough. And for the average New Yorker or tourist, there isn’t much to the place besides a fun, free ferry ride. But somehow I dig deep enough into the internet to find Enoteca Maria, or Nonnas of the world, a wonderful little treasure located in the snubbed borough. Nonnas of the world is the brain child of owner Joe Scaravella, who actually works at the restaurant. One of the OG nonnas, Maria Gialanella, walks around the restaurant giving you the softest, warmest grandma hugs and telling you stories of her native Italy in beautiful broken English. While the concept started out strictly as Italian nonnas, grandmothers from all over the world serve up comfort food, using recipes handed down through their families. The night we came, we had Haitian ratatouille by nonna Kay, as well as a bento box by the Japanese nonna. We also had meatballs from the original Italian menu. The meal is preceded by this wicked tasty focaccia bread with pickled veggies. Of note: the menu and the nonna who is cooking rotates and can usually be found on their website. Sometimes the schedule changes unexpectedly. There is always an Italian menu available regardless of the starting nonna. Countries I saw just browsing the site include Sri Lanka, Peru, Trinidad, Bangladesh, Puerto Rico, Turkey, and more. The restaurant is small. Acoustics are terrible, but what are ya gonna do? Reservations highly recommended. Call the number on the site. I’m pretty sure the owner took my reservation and said, “see ya then, sweetheart,” which I loved. They are open Friday through Sunday with meal times of 2:30, 5:30, and 7:30. There appears to be a good wine list, with great descriptions, but we didn’t partake. The site is about 3/10 of a mile from the Staten Island ferry terminal. It’s cash or Venmo only and Venmo does add the three percent (or whatever it is) fee. For the large filling meal we had, what amounts to a three course meal, and a couple large bottles of sparkling water, it was about a 100 dollars before tip. Is this the best food you’ll ever have? Maybe not. Is it an experience you’ll never forget? Definitely. Take the free and romantic ferry ride over to the bullied borough and check it out.
feel good and home food
a small but cosy place which can be overlooked easily. be aware only cash and you need to reserve a table. the portions a very big and sharing is a good idea. nonna maria welcomed us and we had a nice chat with her. very nice person and you feel home. the food was soooo good. we went for the 2nd chef chinese and japanese dishes. excellent feel good food. it is a must to go there!
Enoteca Maria, Staten Island, NY
Make reservations in advance for the best food I've ever had (except maybe when I was in Italy). This is a fabulous restaurant that will be taking off like a rocket since People Magazine did an article on them. There is always Italian food on the menu thanks to Nonna Maria, the resident chef. She's everything you imagine about an Italian Nonna! We happen to have 2 other choices the night we went, a Nonna Marval from Azerbajan and a Nonna Yumi from Toyko. We chose Nonna Yumi and weren't disappointed. One of the best meals we've ever had, no lie.
Nona Rules!
Absolute amazing experience and dinner. The Nona greeted us and the service was 5 stars. Food was excellent and served with love. Highly recommend this for a great dining experience.
